Okay so maybe I'm a dummy. But this radio can be "unlocked" to access 11m. When I look at this datasheet it looks like the radio can access the USB and LSB frequencies. So that should mean it can transmit and receive SSB right???

I'm not very well versed in these things. I plan on getting my ham license soon but... I'm super curious...

NO...The President Ronald is just a 10/12 Meter AM/FM radio...(No SSB), but Yes, it can be modified for 11 Meter...Just not SSB....

But if it can reach the same frequencies... Wouldn't that mean it can use SSB?

It doesn't have SSB mode...Trying to get that radio to also have SSB would be about like trying to get SSB on a Cobra 29...not going to happen.

The New President McKinley EU has ssb and can be modded for the funny channels tho...Just have to order it from a UK site... Knights CB has them and will ship to the US.

So on the image I just attached to this message. Are the low and upper frequencies SSB frequencies? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190616/79b3cd1a6472dc97868dd7cc53162f1a.jpg

I'm just trying to understand is all. SSB is just specific frequencies I think. So if that radio COULD get to the specific frequencies of the LSB and USB then it could technically use SSB?

All that chart is showing is the channels below and above the regular 11 meter/CB frequencies... (10-12 Meter channels)

Oh... So none of those frequencies are SSB?

All have SSB...Problem is, that radio does not have SSB mode... It has AM and FM, just no ssb...lol

I'm so confused lolol. I figured it was a specific frequency that was considered SSB. I always seen it called upper and lower so... Just wish I understood it better... Ugh.

So I think I may have figured it out...

Okay so what do you think is more useful? A McKinley that is limited to AM but has SSB or a Ronald that has AM and FM but no SSB?

I can only think of 2 or 3 channels. 1-19-33
I’ve got a prz Grant and a General Lee that I cant make up my mind on which one I wanna put in my 18 Ram.
And of course antenna location is my biggest question/problem

I ended up sending back the Ronald and got an AT-6666. Far better radio.

That’s definitely an upgrade

Yeah I ain't mad at it at all. Just worried about the final issues some people have. But I think I'm handy enough to swap em if push come to shove.

SSB is just another type of modulation as is AM, FM, CW.

Now I just gotta find a good cb shop in N.Tx. That can clean and do a good checkup on my general lee and buy a new mic.
